This book is taken straight out of a dark academia fantasy.
While not giving any spoilers, I must say the way the book begins is impressing , the beautiful tragedy of killing someone is well portrayed in this book.
There are six students studying latin and acient greek , the book being narrated by one of them (Richard) who reflects why and what led the five to killing their classmate named Edmund (also known as Bunny). It is a book who shouldn’t be missing from your bookshelf.
I enjoyed every single part of it and Donna Tartt has managed to impress me in a very serious way, my hands have been glued to it the whole time I was reading it. When I finished the book, it never left my mind. It is and forever be one of my favorite books.
